No, SEGFAULT means you're lucky and your corrupted memory caused you to access something the OS knew you can't access. But every SEGFAULT means that you have a memory safety violation, and so if you get unlucky, the exact same code that SEGFAULTED once will read oe write random objects in your memory (which might include code areas, GC data structures, etc).

Inconsistent data is pretty bad, but it's not as bad as memory corruption.
